A dik-dik is the name for any of four species of small antelope in the genus Madoqua, which live in the bushlands of eastern and southern Africa. [1]Dik-diks stand about 30–40 centimetres (12–15.5 in) at the shoulder, are 50–70 cm (19.5–27.5 in) long, weigh 3–6 kilograms (6.6–13.2 lb) and can live for up to 10 years.
